  2. A Shipwreck

    Share Share Post
    There is a story told by some people of a shipreck in the district of Bannow. A long time ago, about the year 1882 a ship named the Zapparee was coming from Fuime, bound for Dublin and Glasgow.
    The ship was laden with flour and all kind of meal stuffs. It was a very stormy night and she ran ashore on the Randale rock. Most of her crew were Italians.
    The crew were rescued by the Apparatus which was worked by Mr. Andrew Cullen. The ship was broken up. The crew stayed at Mr. Cullen's house until they were sent to their homes in Italy.
